Audio: Sheehan hangs up on Klein over terrorism debate

posted at 7:00 pm on July 11, 2010 by Ed Morrissey

How about a little blast from the past, courtesy of Aaron Klein of WABC Radio? Aaron invited Cindy Sheehan onto his Sunday afternoon show, broadcast live from 2-4ET, to discuss an upcoming trial and her perspective on Barack Obama and his war policies. Sheehan tells Aaron that she doesn’t feel betrayed by Obama because she never trusted him in the first place, and that she believes him to be a corporatist instead of a liberal, calling ObamaCare a big boon to insurance companies. Sheehan gets testy (although never rude) when Aaron presses her on the issue of terrorism, suddenly claiming that the only topic under discussion was supposed to be her trial. When Aaron starts reading his e-mail invitation on the air to clarify, Sheehan abruptly hangs up on him:

It’s kind of a shame that she bailed, because it was at least somewhat interesting until then. Aaron was polite and the questions certainly weren’t outside the realm of debate, especially given Sheehan’s years of extreme rhetoric in the anti-war movement.

She has been outside the White House all week? Sadly now that protesting the President is out of vogue, Cindy’s friends in the media have no use for her anymore.
The one guy who bothers to interview a has-been like her, she hangs up on.

But she’s still a deranged leftist libtard. She just happens to be consistent in her stupidity.

Is she? Seems she’s slightly more sane than most Obama zombies.

Sheehan tells Aaron that she doesn’t feel betrayed by Obama because she never trusted him in the first place, and that she believes him to be a corporatist instead of a liberal, calling ObamaCare a big boon to insurance companies.

Wow… Cindy and I might be in agreement. I tend to also believe that Obama is a corporatist … an incompetent one, but still he’ll play ball with those that bend to him.

I know I was thinking the same thing, I agree with Cindy Sheehan, he is corporatist. This phenom has to involve worm holes and quantum physics you know a parallel universe where your mirror opposite exist…..Well in my case it would be Dr Good but in Cindy’s Universe we aren’t dealing with the Good Spock. or are we…..

Sheehan reminds me of the nuts in the 1960-70s. I was young then but I remember being amused by their stupidity. I pretty much knew according to my parents that was not acceptable behavior for a civilized adult.

So lemme get this straight.
Sheehan has been protesting the ‘war on terrorism’ for the last few years.
She is against killing of terrorists.
She gangs up with Chavez , against USA
……but the moment she is shown the real face of her BFFs and allies in the terrorist world, she hangs up ??
Is it because she knows its OK to be chummy with Hamas/Hizbollah but to not to publically praise and defend muslim terrorists ?
Atleast not yet ?

Did she have all the ugly views before her son died. One wonders if she was such a moonbat how is it that her son joined the army in the first place. Did he join to get away from her moonbattiness. Was she turned by the fame she got after and meet the people that caused her to have the all in out communistic views.

It’s an old conflict Sunni vs Shia it’s why Saudi Arabia will let Israel use their air space if they use an air raid against Iran. The Saudis don’t want a nuclear armed Iran.

Saddam was the Sunni Strongman in the neighborhood – 9/11 we were attacked by predominantly Saudis they made up the majority of terrorist on the planes – Al Qeada, Sunni brand.

George W Bush changed the balance of power in the middle east, by us removing Saddam – Sunni. Now the Saudis are more concerned with Iranian dominance in the region than they are the existence of Israel.

I doubt Sheehan has a clue as to how she should speak about “terrorist” no one has directed her on the talking points.

She is hardly alone in that. But it is disrespectful of Islam to speak of it negatively and as there is nothing nice to say about it….you had better say nothing so as not to embarrass the pathetic little folk.

This is a confusing time for common folks. Without W around to assure them of the beauty of Islam once a month, a lot of people begin to fidget about the “peace and tolerance” thingy.
